Once again, Cavani left out of Boca’s squad | OneFootball

The Uruguayan continues with a strain and will miss the match against Barracas Central.

The Uruguayan Edinson Cavani will not be available for the postponed match between Boca and Barracas Central, corresponding to the twelfth round of the Torneo Clausura of the Professional League. The forward is still not recovered from a strain in the right psoas, an ailment that has sidelined him from the last four matches of the “Xeneize”.

The injury complicates the present of the attacker once again, who is going through a difficult year marked by muscular problems. These issues have prevented him from maintaining a continuity of matches and have kept him away from the level he showed at the start of the season.

A year with injuries and little continuity

Since his arrival in Argentine football, Cavani has had various physical issues that have kept him off the field multiple times. In the first months of this year, the Uruguayan scored his only goal of the Torneo Clausura in the victory against Banfield, but shortly after, he suffered another issue that forced him to stop.

So far in 2025, the forward has missed at least one match of each competition that Boca has played. The match on Monday against Barracas Central will be his eighteenth absence in 39 matches, which represents a 46% inactivity in the season.

A Boca with absences and a rising opponent

The team of Claudio Úbeda, who replaces the late Miguel Ángel Russo, will face a key match against Barracas Central, which is seventh in Zone A with 18 points and seeks to keep dreaming of qualifying for the Copa Libertadores 2026 through the Annual Table.

Looking ahead to the match, Úbeda would make two changes: the inclusion of the Chilean Williams Alarcón for Brian Aguirre and the young Milton Delgado for Rodrigo Battaglia, who suffered a tear.

The match against the “Guapo” will be a new opportunity for the blue and gold team to recover without their Uruguayan star, who continues to fight against injuries and seeks to be decisive again in the final stretch of the season.
